FE Technical Forum / Guess the horsepower game....
« on: September 06, 2018, 07:23:42 AM »
I'll be dyno'ing a TFS headed 390 on the 14th of this month. 

Specs:

*4.080" bore, block bored/honed with torque plates, square decked with BHJ fixture, align honed with ARP studs
*Factory 391 crankshaft, with shaped counterweights, BBC rod journals, stock stroke
*Scat 6.800" I-beam rods
*Racetec forged flat top pistons, with Hastings 1.5/1.5/3mm piston rings, compression ratio ~10.4:1
*TFS cylinder heads, assembled with Comp beehive springs, tool steel retainers
*Factory non-adjustable rockers with POP stands and end stands
*Performer RPM intake with some plenum and divider work
*Quick Fuel Q-850 carburetor
*Cam is one of my custom hydraulic rollers, 240/243 @ .050", .555"/.580" lift, 109 LSA on a 103 ICL, with Morel lifters.
*Running a Canton rear sump pan, MSD distributor, blah blah blah
*Cylinder heads measured at 169.8cc intake port volume, 69.8cc chambers, flowed 233/164 @ .300", 317/215 @ .500", 333/220 @ .600"
*Will be turning water pump and alternator

I did end up having to cut .200" off the bottoms of the stands for the non-adjustable rockers, in order to get the geometry correct. 



And a shot of my favorite helper screwing in the spark plugs....



Ok, so for the rules of the game....

Closest without going over on horsepower wins.  I will be posting UNCORRECTED horsepower.  Winner gets some Lykins Motorsports schwag....probably a decal and a T-shirt or something.

.300  204  140
.400  235  157
.500  248  170

The lovely sound of 15:1 compression idling....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9iv5Ygc-7s

Made 1201 hp @ 8500 with 817 lb-f of torque with this 556ci BBF yesterday. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4jQZKNKUCs

On that video, the pull took a little longer than it should have and we actually dead-headed the pump.  That's why it sounds flat at the very end.
